Marcel

pink boxers, cuddling, and soft spoken words

We quietly entered through the door and sprinted up the stairs to his room. We entered and Marcel shut his door quietly, careful not to disturb his parents.

I sat down on his California king bed and looked around for a bit.

"Do you have something I could sleep in, like a big t-shirt or something?" I asked, taking off my shoes.

"Uh, yeah I’ll get it for you." He said while walking into his closet and pulling a t-shirt that read Vampire Weekend on it off its hanger.

"Nice." I said as I looked at the shirt, approving of his band choice. I turned around towards the vacant side of his room and slipped off my shirt and bra, dropping it to the floor below me.

"See, you’re already provoking me." He said huskily, which made me laugh. I slipped the shirt over my body and took off my shorts.

"There, see? I'm all covered up. No provoking-ness going on here." I said to him while walking over to his closet and putting my clothes in there. I knew he was turned on by my little act I just did, but I decided to play dumb for a moment in spite of his reaction.

"If you don’t think looking pretty hot in one of my shirts that you’re going to sleep in isn't provoking, then you need to rethink your definition." He said, walking from the bathroom to me, grabbing my waist and planting a kiss on my forehead, sending shivers down my spine.

"Do you have an extra toothbrush?" I asked, leaving his warm grasp and heading towards his bathroom.

"Yeah, it’s in the second drawer." He called out to me.

I tore open the plastic from the toothbrush and stuck some toothpaste on it and brushed my teeth. I stared in the reflection and took a long hard look at my face. My makeup had been destroyed from burying my face in Marcel’s side for an hour and a half, and my hair looked like I had just been on a roller coaster. Did Marcel not notice how horrible I looked or was he just avoiding telling me? After that was well and done, I set the toothbrush in the holder thing and took out my bun from its horrid position and French braided my hair so I wouldn't wake up with an ugly saggy knot of hair on my head.

I walked back into the room to approach a near naked Marcel, only in pink boxers. Pink boxers that were riding a bit low, I might add.

Pink. Which didn't make him look bad at all, to be honest it made him look tanner.

I crossed my arms and took a good hard look at him fixing his bed, not aware I’m looking at his back side. The way his back muscles constricted and relaxed when he spread the duvet out, then comforter on top on the bed, then smoothing it all out made me stare. I couldn't rip my eyes away....

snap out of it!

"Wow, those are some nice pink boxers you got there." I said laughing a little.

He turned around with flushed cheeks, "I forgot I had these ones on…" He said looking down laughing at himself. He shrugged his shoulders and chuckled a bit more, scratching the back of his neck obviously a bit embarrassed. He was completely unaware of how attractive he looked.

"It's okay though," I started; placing my hands on his chest, then moving my hands across his skin and to his sides.

"You look good in pink." I winked at him and crawled into his huge bed he had just freshly made, covering myself up with his navy blue comforter and duvet. He just shook his head at the ground and smiled, walking over to the other side of the bed, lifting the covers up and climbing in.

I looked up at the bright lights, then back at him.

"You forgot something." I said, smiling at his cute confused face.

"What? Oh right, the lights." he uncovered himself and slung his legs over the bed, standing up and walking over to the light switches, turning them all off.

"Might as well lock the door too, so your parents don’t walk in and see us." I suggested.

"Good thought."

A couple seconds later, he joined me again under the bed sheets and comforter, inches away from my body. I tried to study his face, but a blanket of darkness was shielding my eyes from seeing anything but his emerald green ones.

"Even with the lights off... I can still see your green eyes..." I whispered.

I slowly extended my hand up and felt his face carefully, fingers grazing his soft cheeks, protected by a thin layer of beach fuzz. I could feel his jaw clench and unclench as I softly touched his face. I poked his nose which made a rumbling husky noise erupt from his chest, making me smile at his amusement. My thumb grazed over his plump, soft bottom lip, tugging it down a bit.

“And even with the lights off, I can still see how breathtaking you are." He whispered back, making my stomach do back flips.

What was this boy doing to me?

I scooted closer to him where our bodies were pressed together lightly, and kissed him on the lips ever so gently, leaving my hang cupping the side of his face.

I pulled away slowly, detaching our eager lips unwillingly, because I promised not to tempt him, so I wouldn’t. No matter how much I wanted to, I wouldn’t.

"You're not going to let any paranormal monsters or demons or ghosts get me, right?" I asked quietly.

He chuckled and wrapped his arm around my waist, bringing our bodies even closer together, and intertwined our legs. "Never in a million years."

Very satisfied with his answer, I dug my head into his chest and put my hand on the bend of his side. He slowly moved his hand from my waist up to my hand that rested in between us, grazing my stomach sending shivers all throughout my body, and laced his fingers in between mine.

All I could think at the moment was the lyrics to a song from Owl City that sang, ‘The spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly.'

It's like our full bodies fit together perfectly, not just our fingers… I don't know how to explain it… It's just like we match. I sighed when I heard the steady rhythm of his heart, signifying he was asleep.

I lightly kissed his hand that was intertwined with mine and spoke so softly, "You make me feel like I belong nowhere else but here..."

The constant beat of his heart was like a metronome, following the same  progressions over and over, mesmerizing me to sleep all at once.
